Over the last few weeks, we have been spammed by people peddling porn sites. These people just post in every forum about a porn site. It takes several minutes to clean these forums up, and it also gives children access to these sites which is unacceptable.

Every one of these fake users registered with Hotmail accounts. So, we are deciding whether or not to ban all Free mail services from registering. (Hotmail, Yahoo, mail.com, etc.)

What are you thoughts on this? Do you think it is going overbaord or do you feel that it is a neccessary step to help protect the board?

Current users who have already registered with a Free mail account will not be affected by the ban.

What are your thoughts? Let us know.

Its a fairly harsh decision although how many members here actually registered with one?

I'm all for anything to stop the spam though.

Although we could just get rid of the riff raff and ban all of .uk :P
